Product Description
Those lawns are getting a real battering with all the fun that’s being had. Of course, that’s what our gardens are for, so we’ve mixed the perfect blend of hard-wearing, quality grass seed with the finest fescue for a lawn that will withstand heavy traffic, and still look lusciously green.
The perennial ryegrass in this mix is fast to grow and establish, producing a strong and durable sward that will put up with just as much as a football pitch! The finer-leafed strong creeping red fescue blends seamlessly with the ryegrass to create a lawn that is as green and lush as it is wear-and-tear tolerant.
If you have a family lawn that suffers from dappled or blocked shade that is preventing the full growth of grass, consider mixing FAMILY: Kids and Pets Grass Seed with our shade-tolerant grass seeds, STEADFAST: Shade or STEADFAST: Ultra Shade.
Our high-quality grass seed is tested to the highest levels of purity and provides excellent germination rates. All our seeds are also covered by our Grass Seed Growth Guarantee.
